Some Minimal Notes on Minimalism
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the framework outlined in chapter 4 of The Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995), Chomsky (1999, 2000) rethinks the issues and concerns that motivate the minimalist program and further develops minimalism. Chomsky 2000 is the first part of an unfinished manuscript and Chomsky 1999 is the extended and revised version of Chomsky 2000. Some significant claims in Chomsky 1999, 2000 are summarized in section 2. Comments and questions regarding these two papers are spelt out in section 3.

Observations on Strict Derivational Minimalism
Deviating from the definition originally presented in [12], Stabler [13] introduced— inspired by some recent proposals in terms of a minimalist approach to transformational syntax—a (revised) type of a minimalist grammar (MG) as well as a certain type of a strict minimalist grammar (SMG). These two types can be shown to determine the same class of derivable string languages.
متن کاملLayering a Minimal Interface
This paper reports on a software tutorial designed according to minimalist principles. The design extends minimalism beyond paper-based instructions to computer-based interface, and adopts a user-initiated layering technique to display relevant information. Evaluation confirms minimalist theory and shows that layering helps to alleviate some of the design tension between supporting learning and...
متن کاملThree Versions of Semantic Minimalism
All of the semantic minimalists come together in seeking to reduce contextual inputs in semantics to a minimum, but they disagree over what this quantity may be, and more specifically, the extent to which something can still be classed as “minimal”. With this issue increasingly addressed, three versions of semantic minimalism can be identified: weak, strong, and radical. They are still gathered...
متن کاملمطالعه پنج اثر منتخب از سفال نیشابور مربوط به قرون 2 تا 4 هـ.ق. در تطبیق با اندیشههای هنر مینیمال
Among multiple discovered Nishapur pottery works of 9th to 11th century AD, there are samples which differ from the others in aesthetic aspects. Their creators may have followed other aesthetic rules presumably. In these cases, there are not lots of ornamentation, vibrant colors and prevalent motifs of their period. And also empty spaces and a kind of stillness play an important role in them un...
متن کاملDistributed Robotic Manipulation: Experiments in Minimalism
Minimalism pursues the following agenda: For a given robotics task, nd the minimal con guration of resources required to solve the task. Thus, minimalism attempts to reduce the resource signature for a task, in the same way that (say) Stealth technology decreases the radar signature of an aircraft. Minimalism is interesting because doing task A without resource B proves that B is somehow inesse...
